Grade 1/2 Pete Cromer Inspired Birds

Over the last two weeks in the art room, students have been immersed into the vibrant world of native Australian birds, inspired by the colorful artwork of Pete Cromer. Each student began by painting paper with bright watercolours after looking at some of Australia's most beautiful birds such as the rainbow lorikeet, gallah, finch, rosella, and many more. Once their paper was dry, they used collage techniques to cut and layer their artwork creating unique bird collages that reflect their creativity.
